Dear Sir or Madam,
ReplyDeleteI am Emma Tustin and I am currently studying music at Durham University, England.
I am currently in the process of planning my dissertation for my final year of University. I came across a album of Traditonal Maldives music on YouTube and found it completely inspiring.
This made me want to write about Traditional Maldives music, but I found that this music is hardly written about nor is it hardly recognised, nearly enough as it should be.
If I was to write about Traditional Maldives music it would mean I would have to collect and do the research myself - this would involve visiting the Maldives and talking to musicians, recording their work and writing everything they said - purely for academic research.
Do you think it is possible that you yourselves as a tourist company know extensive knowledge of Traditonal Maldive music or do you know musicians I could talk to and learn all about the musics history, instruments, rituals it's apart of and performance?
All acknowledgements will obviously be held completely to the musicians and would be acknowledged in the dissertation paper I write - which is for academic use only.
If you need some reference to ensure the authenticity of my request I am happy to pas on my lecture or head of departments contact details who can verify my request.
I do hope I hear back from you, and thank you for your help
Kindest Reagrds
Emma Tustin
